Reporters Without Borders (RSF)

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) is an international non-governmental organization that advocates for press freedom and the safety of journalists worldwide. They monitor and report on violations of press freedom, including censorship, harassment, imprisonment, and violence against journalists. RSF's recent notability stems from their reporting on several key issues. They have highlighted the detention of Chinese investigative journalists reportedly exposing corruption, condemned the imprisonment of Tunisian journalists as 'legal persecution,' and documented the deadly force used against protestors in Iran. Most significantly, RSF's recent annual report states that Israel was the leading killer of journalists in 2025, with a large number of Palestinian reporters killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. This underscores RSF's continued relevance in monitoring and advocating for the protection of journalists in conflict zones and countries with repressive regimes.
